About the Pennsylvania Lottery

On August 26, 1971, the Pennsylvania Lottery was created with the enactment of Act 91 of 1971 that initially helped to provide property tax relief for Pennsylvania senior citizens. Since PA Lottery's start in 1971, the programs funded have grown to include long-term living services, low-cost prescription drug programs, rent rebates, free and reduced-fare public transit, and senior centers across Pennsylvania. The PA Lottery is the only state lottery that designates all of its proceeds to programs that benefit senior citizen residents.

As of July, 2018, PA Lottery game sales hold the sales record of over $4.2 billion, from which a record-breaking $2.7 billion in prizes were paid and more than $1 billion was generated to benefit Pennsylvania seniors.
